Vltava

Oil on canvas

120cm x 90cm / 48” x 36”

Vltava, the fourth work in the Night Hour series is inspired by the captivating city of Prague. The central section symbolises Charles Bridge, a defining landmark and a focal point for visitors. However, beyond its iconic presence, the city holds a richness that extends far beyond the well-trodden paths, a depth I sought to reflect in this piece.

Based on my travels through mainland Europe in 2018. At a turning point in my life, it focuses on my own personal interpretations of each city and takes colour inspiration from the scenery at night. These artworks all share the common theme of a single colour, which stems from the memory of the rivers in each city at night. Through careful and considered application I am able to create subtle shifts in tone, even though the original hue is the same. Each composition represents a separate city I stayed in and the feelings evoked by each.
